He expressed these views on Wednesday while addressing a 'Talent Expo' being organised by Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT) at Expo Center, Karachi. He said that unfortunately Pakistan was still far from its purpose of creation.

Terming the ruling families a powerful mafia, he severely criticised them for diving Pakistan’s education sector on the basis of economic classes.

He expressed his grief and anger over social injustices in the society.

Siraj lamented that a big chunk of taxpayers’ money was spent on the luxuries of privileged classes. He said that JI was often subjected to torture and hurdles were created in its way. “But even our opponents declare our members as the most honest representatives of masses,” he added. The senator stressed the need for a uniform system of education in the country, and wished that the son of a labourer should be studying the same syllabus that the son of a president studied.

He added that if JI came to power, education of girls would be compulsory.

“A father will have to face a jail term, if he refuses to educate his daughter,” he pledged.He added that the sitting ruling regime had failed and the nation would have to stand up against corruption. “Only masses can hold the rulers accountable,” he opined.

Siraj praised student leaders belonging to IJT for their efforts to achieve their goals.He hoped that Pakistani students would bring a positive change in the country.

The JI leader said that Jamiat was always on the forefront when it came to safeguarding the integrity and ideological borders of Pakistan.

We have decided to gather people on October 22 and 23 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

“A big march would be taken out on October 30 in Lahore,” he announced.

Speaking on the occasion, JI Sindh chief Dr Merajul Huda Siddiqui said that activists of IJT were the pride of the nation. “They are cream of the students who can produce positive results for Pakistan,” he commented.He was of the view that education was the major tool and weapon to bring a positive and durable change in any society.

“The goal can be achieved by taking little but positive steps through acquiring education,” he said, adding that activities like the Talent Expo should continue.

Senator Saeed Ghani said the expo had changed the impression about the city’s law and order situation. “The event has removed fears from the minds of students as well as citizens,” he added. He asked other student organisations to follow in the footsteps of IJT.
